In February, it felt like I had written practically nothing, so it was sort of a surprise to find out that I wrote 13,543 words. Of those words,
- 353 were for this blog (three short posts),
- 3536 were for my journal,
- 7203 were for handouts, scripts, and slides for lessons (one for East Texas Writers Guild and one for the Open Door Writing Group),
- 1629 were on various social media accounts,
- 421 were poetry (one short poem and one long),
- and 401 were in short stories (two pieces of flash fiction).
There were only four days that I didn’t write anything. I was sick for a lot of the month. So, I didn’t get any poems or short stories submitted anywhere.
As for reading, I read parts of:
- Sound and Form in Modern Poetry by Harvey Gross (paperback; non-fiction)
- Call Us What We Carry by Amanda Gorman (hardcover; poetry)
- Storyteller: 100 Poem Letters by Moran Harper Nichols (e-book; poetry)
- A Poet’s Guide to Poetry by Mary Kinzie (paperback; non-fiction)
- If Women Rose Rooted: The Power of the Celtic Woman by Sharon Blackie (audiobook; non-fiction)
- The Sounds of Poetry: A Brief Guide by Robert Pinsky (paperback; non-fiction)
I finished reading:
- The Green Man: Tales from the Mythic Forest edited by Ellen Datlow (e-book; fiction short stories)
- The Wonder Engine (Clocktaur War #2) by T. Kingfisher (audiobook; fantasy)
- Legends & Lattes (Legends & Lattes #1) by Travis Baldree (paperback; fantasy)
- On the Spectrum: Autism, Faith, and the Gifts of Neurodiversity by Daniel Bowman, Jr. (e-book; non-fiction)
PS. It is totally do-able to read Legends and Lattes #1 AFTER you’ve read Legends and Lattes #2 (Bookshelves and Bonedust) if, like me, you didn’t know it was a series.
